It could not be that Gordon, could it, with his hail-fellow-well-met manner? I thought Guy did not half like it the other day, when he rode up with his "Hollo, Morville!" The Morvilles have a touch of pride of their own; eh, mamma? 'I should be inclined to believe his own account of himself, said she. 'I tell you, 'tis utterly against reason, said Mr. Edmonstone, angrily.
"I think your next step," said the vicar, "will be to go yourself to Lady Morville, and lay before her this conclusive evidence of your sister's innocence." "Yes; I suppose that will be right," said Bradly.
We hope he suffered little. Markham will make all arrangements. We propose that the funeral should take place on Tuesday; I hope you will be able to come. I would write to my cousin, Philip Morville, if I knew his address; but I depend on you for saying all that ought to be said. Excuse this illegible letter, I hardly know what I write.

And Laura escaped into her own room. 'What's the meaning of it, Amy? pursued Eveleen. 'Only a stranger makes us more formal, said Amy. 'What an innocent you are!
